this is supposed to be more secure because it costs money
It makes blaming someone really easy though and that’s all that matters in a corporate world.
This is legitimately it. The same reason corporations often pay for Linux (e.g. RHEL)—the people in charge want to be able to pick up a phone and harass someone until they fix their problem. They simply can’t fathom any alternative approach to managing dependencies.
It’s “more secure” because there’s a specific company to blame when it goes wrong.
